Dream A Little Dream

Chapter 8

Autumns P.O.V
Its now midnight, and Lexi was meant to finish work a bloody hour ago!
I swear she's so immature when it comes to this, I'm never late well that's mostly because she'll shoot me if I am. But still I'm 14, I'm having to juggle
School
Friends
Homework
Boys
Keeping healthy
FUCKING BREATHING
I can't be arsed with this, I thought she maybe went to the DX after her shift. But Steve came to the Curtis house after his shift...alone.

"Where's Soda and Lexi?" I asked him,

"Don't know, he wasn't at the DX, the last time I saw him was when he was talking to Lexi at the back next thing I had a quick look at the back and they weren't there."

"But I've got school tomorrow and I can't go to Bucks alone." I started to freak out, at this point I was either gonna cry my heart out or go murder a Bitch... I'm sure my periods coming soon.

"No.. no Autumn it's okay nothing's gonna happen, If something happens we won't kick you out." Pony reassured me, at this point I could feel my eyes going, him talking like that sparked back memories, memories that changed my whole life.

"Right come on guys let's go find her.. Autumn, Alice will be back from the library anyway soon." All the boys started to rush out the door one by one when I grabbed Pony's wrist

"Please don't leave me." I pleaded, he looked at me in the watery eye before turning to walk back. Ponyboy took my hand and stood beside me.

"Ya coming Pony?" Dally asked,
"Why can't I come?" I asked,

"Cause Alice told me about how you broke your leg?" He smirked walking back in the house and shutting the door behind him.

"I can't help it if I'm very clumsy." I moaned,
"You tripped over your own feet? Really?! Next time I ain't leaving you alone in a room with sharp corners." He chuckles,

"Autumn are you okay, you looked kinda upset?" Pony asked,

"Yeah it was just something you said, brought on memories." I plopped myself on the couch.
"What memories?" Pony asked sitting closely next to me, our legs touching.

"The day my parents kicked me out.... you know I never cried that night, I've never cried about that night or even gave it any thought." Maybe I should of left it at The day my parents kicked me out, now that I'm giving that night some thought, I think I'm gonna regret it.

"Why did they?" Dally asked quietly,
"Why? Because they hated me.. they never ever loved me, I wasn't even a human being in that house. I was basically treated like an object without any feelings. They hit me, they kicked me, they slapped me, humiliated me.. THEY VIOLATED MY PRIVACY AND SECRETS!" I cried,

"Autumn.... did they.. did your dad take advantage of you?" Pony asked, I stayed silent, looking down at the scratched wooden floor watching my salty tears fall.

"He said it would be practice... practice for when I was older, they brain washed me, made me believe I was gonna be nothing but a prostitute barely getting by." I sobbed,
I've never admitted to anyone or even myself that I had all this sadness and pain which I bottled up, I kept telling myself just put on a act and no one will know, you don't have to say it out loud.

I've never had love in my life, Lexi.. she only shows it for a split second then pushes you away and Alice.. I don't think she's ever said to anyone 'I love you' if she ever did I knew it was gonna be a lie, that wall was unbreakable.

Dally got up and rushed out slamming the door behind him.
"Dal had a bad background, he can't handle hearing stories." Ponyboy said,

"Hey you wanna watch a movie?" I quietly asked, I was done talking about this, now that I have, I'm scared the memories won't leave my head.

"Really?! I thought I was the only one who watched movies." He exclaimed, he grabbed my hand and pulled me off the couch to the cabinet which was full of tapes.

"Any suggestions?" He wiggles his eyebrows with a signature Dally smirk on his face.

"Breakfast at Tiffany's." I smiled.. well at least tried, my face was all blotchy, red and stiff, I'm surprised Ponyboy is even looking at me and still smiling.

He took the tape, got blankets and got all cozy up, it was so close to being completely perfect, two things were  in the way,
1. If Ponyboy didn't like Cherry and I never met Jordan, but the bad thing is... I don't regret meeting him at all, he's perfect. Maybe me and Ponyboy where never meant to be.

2. Ponyboy ain't done talking about what my dad did to me...
"Does Lexi know?" He asked, I raised my head from his shoulder and looked at him.

"No, only you and Dal..."
"You have to tell Lexi and Alice... they can help you..."
"I don't need any help, okay I admit it... my father raped me and I'm just admitting it to myself but Lexi and Alice won't care. They will just tell me to grow a pair." I rested my head back on his shoulder and continued watching the movie.

Alice P.O.V (first time 😂)
I hate tests, I hate school, why? I don't know why I'm still in school, if it was up to me and not Lexi, I would dropped out and see where life takes me...
Like Dallas, for once I actually really like him he's perfect in my eyes, everything I've been looking for.

I was walking by myself watching the moon... I hate this time of day I hate how the darkness over comes the light like how darkness overcomes people's lives.

"DARLIN!" I heard someone shout, I turned around to see Dally jogging towards me,

"Hey sexy." I giggled, he ran towards me and took my hands.

"I have a question, but you don't need to answer now I'll let you think about it tonight." He couldn't look at me in the eyes, as if he was hiding something.

"What's wrong dal?" I moved his head so he was looking at me.

"W..will you be my girl?" Dallas stuttered,
"Since when did you stutter while asking someone like this?" I smirked,

"Cause I really like you... you're different from the rest Alice..."
"Shhhh, now what's wrong?" I put my finger on his mouth,

"The next time you see Autumn... talk to her, I think she need to tell you something." He mumbled putting his hands in his back pockets.

"Okay and I'll see you tomorrow to give you an answer." I smiled before walking away to the Curtis house.

I walked in to see all the lights where out, the only thing I could see was Ponyboy and Autumn cuddled up together on the couch fast asleep.
how Fucking cuteeee!!!!

I turned on the lamp next to dining table and continued studying until they woke up.
